  1. Hey Bill, That's unusual. You were up later than I. I only made it until about 2:30 or at least that's what I've been told
  2. Boy, you must have been wasted! You were my partner in crime! You made sure that anyone and everyone that took it answered correctly when you asked them if they were clean of visible coldsores or syphilis of the ass. Oh wait, you WERE wasted! You were barely in any shape to jump New Year's Day. If I remember correctly, you made one jump and split the scene. We had a blast huh??
  3. Believe me, it's secure. In order to deploy, the idea is to pull down and out. To me, that seems like too much to think about but it's a very popular option.
  4. Maybe it was just me but the portable wind tunnel that was there didn't seem to go over too well. I think some people went over there when we were on a weather hold but besides that I don't remember hearing it run too much. Am I wrong? It is quite possible that I just don't REMEMBER it. No one has mentioned the endless party, free beer and stuff. I guess since I mostly worked I remember more of the party than I do the jumping (since I only got to do 3 jumps on the last Saturday anyway ). It's an experience.
  5. Hey guys. Go easy on the Newbie. But I gotta say, we are all a bunch of skydivers and if these forums are anything like my dropzone, we all know, If you've come here for sympathy, you've come to the wrong place or You know where you can find sympathy? In the dictionary between shit and syphilis At least that's what I've always been told
  6. Started February 26, 2000. Did and passed level 1. Went on sunset load to do level 2, passed but broke my foot on landing. Came back sometime in September 2000 to finish AFF in 2 1/2 weeks. Yahoo!!!
  7. I've been kiss passed and made kiss passes. I didn't realize it was a big deal. I've got one of my first on video . I think my two favorites were (in this order) my first jump with my sweetheart and the time "V" grabbed me at break off, did a daffy(sp) and a kiss then tracked away (now that was WAY COOL).
  8. I bought a basically brand new PD 170 (F111) for $200. PD was at my DZ and inspected it and told me if I didn't buy it they would. I kept that canopy for probably a year then I demoed a Sabre2 150 for less than 10 jumps and bought a Sabre2 135. Funny thing, when I first stepped down to the 135, I kept landing short of where I wanted to because I couldn't get the decent rate. Now, I've had the 135 for a little over a year and I'm needing a 120 because I don't come down fast enough.
  9. When did you have a cut away? What happened? Got spun up under one of those touchy canopies you're jumpin? Boy, I miss all the excitement.

    Wow.....

    Oooohh! Make me cry. That's the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time.
  11. I don't care enough to wonder. It's not someone I hang with, believe me. This is her natural reply to anyone asking her how she is. She says it to people on the phone and to people in person. She thinks it's funny.
  12. That's my man! Edited for spelling
  13. Someone says, "How are you" and the reply is "Mean and Cranky and proud of it!" If I've hear that once, I've heard it a million times, and all in one day. Nothin gets under my skin worse!!!!

    Why Stacy, whatever could you mean by that?
  15. It had to have been early. When I went to Gaylen with the portable breathalizer, he broke the machine. Hell, there were people blowing .3somethings and it was before midnight! It was a blast! How I was in any shape to jump the next day is beyond my scope of comprehension.
  16. Try somethin that will make um not know what to say in return like: "Oh yea!" or "You're a meany head" It gets um every time
